The black hole within Donald Trump
Im no advice columnist, and normally I wouldnt use this space for relationship counseling, but heres a small bit of wisdom that Ive offered to a few friends over the years and that might be useful to Republicans in Washington.
When youre deciding whether to plunge into a marriage, dont ever make the mistake of thinking youre marrying the person your partner is going to become, once he or she finally grows up or finds that perfect job or stops making meth in the basement. The only person youre marrying is the one sitting right in front of you, and while some people do improve over time, only a fool would count on it.
On second thought, this advice probably comes too late for the Paul Ryans and Bob Corkers of the world, who were exactly this foolish when they wrapped their arms around Donald Trump and said: I do. But you know, they never asked.
You see, Republican leaders saw Trump reaching out for an insider like Paul Manafort who ran Republican campaigns back when balloon drops were considered high-tech and started using words like pivot and coachable. They wanted to believe the boorish Trump was like a political Bob Dylan, able to go from freewheelin to born-again without missing a beat.
